	*The Origin Matrix's exact appearance is fairly inconsistent. The Matrix accessory included with Ultra Mammoth is simply a redeco of Big Convoy's Energon Matrix in silver with a blue core. However, when it made its fictional debut in ''Invasion: Epilogue'', the Origin Matrix was depicted as having silver handles, a blue casing, and a white core. When it next showed up in ''Shattered Balance'', it was instead depicted as gold with a red core like Big Convoy's original Energon Matrix. In ''Distant Fissures'', the Matrix visible inside Ultra Mammoth's chest was now in toy-accurate colors. Finally, ''Restoration'' would depict it with an entirely different design closer to the original Generation 1 Matrix of Leadership but keeping the silver deco and blue core, with the very next panel further stylizing the shape of the Matrix.		*The Origin Matrix's exact appearance is fairly inconsistent.
